UFORIA is one of those movies that begs the question, "Why didn't this film make it?" I hope they track down the principal cast and crew members so they can release a Special Edition DVD of this fine, forgotten film. It's full of colorful performances and vivid local flavor, all wrapped up in a tidy comedic plot. Fred Ward is wonderful as the scruffy redneck Waylon Jennings wannabe and Cindy Williams is actually kind of endearing as his love interest. I recommend UFORIA highly.

A notch below "Repo Man," but still a major hoot. It stars Harry Dean Stanton, which automatically puts it in my top 20. Cindy Williams is perfect as the True Believer, and the rest of the cast is uniformly excellent. It has the same quirky, nothing-is-quite-what-it-seems quality as "Repo Man." I saw it at the Little Theater in Rochester, NY, and liked it well enough to spend $70 on the VHS. I've watched it 15 times since and never regretted buying it. It's hard to find, so buy it now!

A fine little film, great music(country), wonderful cast, full of surprises, it really works. I have told many folks about this one, don't miss it!

One of my personal top-10. I bough the VHS and transferred it to DVD for posterity.

I remember seeing this at a special screening at UCLA in the early 1980s, and just thought to see if it's available now. Very funny and uplifting film, and the talk was it wouldn't make it to full distribution because it could be interpreted as making fun of religion. I hope it gets released on DVD someday.

Great little movie. Cindy Williams is a scream as a would-be religious fanatic who falls far short of her goals. Fred Ward and Harry Dean Stanton are also very funny.

thank you
